## What is BTX10?

The BTX10 iOS application is Bluetooth v. 4.0 that pairs with the X10 PowerLine Controller and remotely controls lighting and appliances throughout the home. BlueTooth commands signal the controller from iOS devices, such as iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and the Controller sends X10 signals over existing 120VAC house wiring to receiver modules for dimming devices such as lamps, On/Off for appliances and momentary commands to low voltage devices.
 
Areas of the home are organized by Zones and Rooms. Each Zone is assigned a list of devices user can control. Event activities are user created for scenes combining lighting and other devices with one touch. The GUI uses photo icons to identify zones, rooms, events and devices. Advanced scheduling of Events can be done through few clicks on your iPhone or iOS device.
